IP DNS DUPHOSTDEF duplicate host errors?

Messages are appearing in my operator log warning of "%DNS-E-DUPHOSTDEF,
duplicate host definition" the list the name and IP address of a device.
These devices are non-VAX\VMS devices, and can are either routers or hubs.
What does this mean, in general?
What will this mean to VAX operation?

The Answer is :

You appear to have a network name (or network address) collision.
Please contact the support organization for the vendor that is
providing the particular IP (DNS) package in use here -- details
on the package and version, ECO level, and the network configuration
will be required.
